Ford Ecosport Recalls In The UK: Every Safety Recall By Year And Build Date, And What To Do

The Ford Ecosport has 8 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, 4 of them since 2020. The most common faults involve software and fuel leaks. Enter your registration to see which apply to your car; you won't usually pay for a recall repair.¹

The recall most likely to affect a UK Ford EcoSport is R/2025/094, a powertrain control module software update covering the EcoSport, Fiesta, Focus, B-Max, C-Max and other Fords, with 213,392 vehicle-records; it is usually a short dealer visit. EcoSport recalls tend to arrive several years after the cars were built, so older EcoSports are worth checking again. Earlier EcoSport recalls dealt with a rear suspension fault that could make the car unstable (R/2015/126), a fuel leak (R/2016/102), a lower control arm weld (R/2018/248) and seat belts with a faulty locking mechanism shared with the Fiesta (R/2021/123). In 2025 Ford added a rear-view camera software update across several models (R/2025/359). Many EcoSports have the 1.0 EcoBoost engine, which has no UK recall for its wet timing belt; see our EcoBoost wet belt page for the warning signs and Ford's programme. Any Ford dealer can confirm by VIN.
